Several users have reported the RoboJDE installation fails on Windows Vista. Although Windows Vista is not officially supported, users have reported that the...
The voltage levels that I measure on the COM2 port pins, starting from the one next to the ground pin are the following, relative to the ground pin: 6.0, 0,...
Hi Don, The levels on COM2 are RS-232, not TTL. The pinout, from the edge of the board in is Ground, +6V, IntelliBrain Rx, IntelliBrain Tx. The power pin is...
To wrap up this disucssion... It's tricky to download a program to the IntelliBrain controller if it has a program loaded in flash that is (1) set to run...
Ok, thanks for that information. So, I guess it is impossible to use COM2 with the RF modem (XBee on an AppBee adapter card), as I was attempting to do,...
I am having difficulty using XBee with the Intellibrain 2. Probably it is something I am doing wrong. I wonder if anyone else has experience with this RF...
The StringBuffer class is missing a clear method. This means that you can only add to a StringBuffer character string and never replace what is there. This...
I went back and tried using the TX and RX pins on the COM2 port again, only getting power for the XBee-AppBee elsewhere, as suggested. I found that the...
Don, There should be no difference in power drain between using COM1 and COM2. Both ports are driven off of the same 2 port RS-232 level shifter chip and have...
It turns out that the AppBee does not support RS232 level signals, which is why I have not been able to get the thing to work correctly. Assuming that COM1...
Don, Yes, both ports are RS232, as described in the user guide. The UART class would need hardware support on the board to do the hardware handshaking...
Yes, I could buy the development kit, but I already have the XBees and a pair of AppBee-SIP adapter boards that do not suppport RS232. Oh well. I see that...
Hi, I want to use this port for communication via Bluetooth. Can anyone give a hint how to send integers or floating point values to the intellibrain which can...
You can send integers or longs as a series of bytes and then recombine them in the Intelllibrain. For example, to send an integer as two bytes, the sending...
Silly me, I was thinking that ints were 16 bits and longs 32, but of course, an int is 32 bits and a long is 64. The mask and shift method is the most...
Oops, I got the long recombine statement wrong. It should be: long longVal = byte4 + byte3*256 + byte2*256*256 + byte1*256*256*256 And byte1, byte2, byte3,...
Hi Don, I tested this. The following program works fine for me using the default stack size, 200 elements. public class Test1 { public static void main(String...
Hi, Thanks to you all with your valuable inputs. Originally I thought to use string methods (parse..) which don't exist in this Java version. But nevertheless...
No, I was running it as the only code in the program. I used one of the example projects rather than creating a new one and the stack size apparently had...
Hi guys i am trying to make my robot navigate from one location to another using Sharp range sensors. anyone who has the code to include range sonsor class...
Hi everyone. I just added nubotics wheelwatcher ww-01 but i have no idea how to connect then to my robot. If anyone has the pin connection to the robot board...
